    It's not so much who they are. It's the fact that a lot of polls weight by recalled Scottish referendum and EU referendum votes. Obviously EU nationals couldn't vote in the EU one so their responses are likely getting lumped in and weighted with other categories that aren't reflective. And if there's one thing a poll does need to be, it's representative and reflective of the general population.

    Anyhow, *imo it'll be down to turnout on the day. I think a fair swathe of former Labour No voters will stay at home.

    * in my OWN opinion.

    Ah ok.
    What about all the other billions of scots who are (apparently) up in arms about brexit?

    Are they not being polled either?
  • Shockingly myopic. This thread is no longer a debate, it's the batshit insane patting each other on the back whilst being completely ignorant of the truth.

    Lost my job a couple of times in the Thatcher era.

    Don't hate her, don't hate anyone; it's a useless emotion, only destroys the bearer.

    Some people have it in spades though and use it to fuel all kinds of grievances.

    Let it go. :cool:

    ... and some have the smarts to know the truth but peddle fake truth anyway.

  • The irony.

    Perhaps looking at the data would help you make a more informed decision?

    If you refuse to look at all available information to come to a rational conclusion then you too may as well believe the moon is made of cheese because I said so, why look at the other evidence?

    If you were to believe that, I would be correct to call you an idiot.

    Sorry but some people don't live in the snowflake world where everyone's opinion is to be respected regardless of its basis in reality or not. In the same way that "demiboy" isn't a biological gender, Scottish independence is an economic disaster greater in magnitude than Brexit for the UK.

    Yes you are possibly going to be asked to choose the lesser of two evils should indy2 come to pass. Which is worse for Scotland, Brexit, or indepenence. I've continually maintained that the economic data has and will continue to show that Brexit affects Scotland far less than the rUK and that independence affects Scotland far more than the rUK. The evidence for the choice you should make is abundantly clear, just like the evidence for the moon not being made of cheese.

    And if you read my previous posts you will realise that I am respecting the 2014 result "for a generation" if you can see the future in 2030 then just tell us the lottery numbers for next week and I.ll be living in a warmer country then and won't get a vote.

    So we can conclusively say that for Scotland to be truly free it actually relies on -
    The tories & foreign voters to deliver the result
    The EU and Bank of England to keep you going afterwards

    Non-independence will be such a fantastic achievement.

    They also think that such a tiny area of the uk should have total control of the UK economy and foreign policy.

    Honestly, if you wrote this as a novel it would be thrown out as too fanciful, after all who could be so arrogant as to think that the voters from a tiny region of a country should be able to overturn the democratic decision of that country!

    Sturgeon is beginning to remind me of Putin. She already will not allow criticism from within her party, and lets face it, everyone needs criticism or they do not know when they are going wrong.

    What I want to know is, if Scotland ever become independent, will they actually have elections or will Sturgeon have yet another tantrum and declare she does not want to have elections and will be the dictator for life.
    What is this life if, full of care, we have no time to stand and stare

    Where is the proof that Scotland wants control of the UK economy and and foreign policy ?

    My understanding is the Yes campaign want control of Scotland''s economy and foreign policy , unless your suggesting rUK is incapable of controlling these things ?
